Day 47- Wednesday, August 1st, 2007
1 08 2007Noonish
I had a pretty good morning. It’s a beautiful day. Not a cloud in the sky. It’s about 72 degrees. I gave myself the day off from worry!
I am sitting on the dock with my feet dangling in the water. It’s so quiet here today. Oh how I love this place. I know I am here for a reason. This is where I need to be to heal. Strange, but I get the feeling everything that has happened to me my whole life was a set up for this very day. This day that I am sitting on this dock in this camp at this moment.
Today is the first day of the rest of my life. I know that is an old cliché, but today, I get it.
I have to make a decision right now. I can fight this monster with hate and anger, stress and fear. Or I can fight it with peace and pride. With the love of my family, my friends, and my Lord.
I can fight it on this dock with my feet dangling in the water.
You can’t catch me I’m the ginger bread man.
I love it here. I brought my book out with me, but I haven’t needed it yet. What an easy life.
Hahah. That reminded me of when I was trying to convince an English fella to join Amway. At the end of my spiel he said, “If et’s so bloody ea-zee, wha idn’t eva’body doin’ et?”
That there, is the question. Why isn’t everybody doing this? As a society, we have forgotten what is important. What is really necessary.
We have forgotten how to sit on a dock is August with our feet dangling in the water.
If I take one positive thing from this mess I am in it will be how to dangle my feet in the water of life.
